Search - Ron Davies :: U.F.O.

At twenty, Ron signed with A&M Records and recorded his first album, Silent Song Through The Land, produced by Chad Stewart. Leon Russell?s performance on the record was an outstanding contribution and one of the songs, 'It Ain?t Easy' was later picked up by Three Dog Night and became the title cut of their album. His writing also came to the attention of David Bowie, who recorded Ron?s material on his Ziggy Stardust album. John Kay (of Steppenwolf), Dave Edmunds, Maria Muldaur, Helen Reddy, Chris Smithers, Long John Baldry, Joe Cocker and Merry Clayton are only a few of the long list of artists who recorded Ron?s songs during his L.A. days. His next album for A&M, produced by Ron and Grammy-award winner Tommy Vicarri, was called U.F.O. It engaged the impressive talents of world-class musicians such as Billy Preston, Andy Newmark, Wilton Felder, David Spinoza, Clarence McDonald and the Rolling Stones? 'Brown Sugar' girl, Claudia Lennear. This limited edition Japanese pressing has been remastered and features the 9 original tracks packaged in a paper sleeve. Universal. 2005.
